I wanted a weekly series, like Sket Dance, Kuroko's Basketball or Medaka Box, but this is good because I'm just starting to read Rurouni Kenshin.

I'd actually like to see them add a gag manga series at some point. Shonen Jump in America has always just focused on action series. Now would be a great time to take some risks and do things differently.

They tried that with gintama and it failed miserably. Which is too bad,as gintama is a great combination of gag/action

It's ongoing series "If you're not American, f**k you," is still running to much of the world's annoyance.

Glad I didn't subscribe. When I saw Toriko and Nura in the lineup I thought Alpha was gonna try to take a few chances on new series, but it looks like that wasn't successful so it'll be back to the same old same old. Toriko and Nura are gonna be dropped for Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal and Rock Lee in the coming weeks.

First, I like Toriko and Nura and second, there is no way Viz is going to be drop those two series until they end. They both sell well. Also I would hate getting Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal, Rock Lee I would be okay with. I also think that the next new series Viz will add will be the #1 and possibly the #2 choice on the survey that are running now.
